+\begin{quote}

+
+The \TeX{} distribution of choice, for Unix systems (including
+\acro{GNU}/Linux and most other free Unix-like systems) is \texlive{},
+which is distributed as part of the \Qref*{\TeX{} collection}{Q-CD}.
+
+\texlive{} may also be installed ``over the network''; a network
+installer is provided, and once you have a system (whether installed
+from the network or installed off-line from a disc) a manager
+(\ProgName{tlmgr}) can both keep your installation up-to-date and add
+packages you didn't install at first.
+
+\texlive{} may be run with no installation at all; the web page % ! line break

+describes the options for installing \texlive{} on a memory stick for
+use on another computer, or for using the \texlive{} \acro{DVD} with
+no installation at all.
+
+\tex{}-gpc is a ``back-to-basics'' distribution of \tex{} utilities,
+\emph{only} (unlike \texlive{}, no `tailored' package bundles are
+provided).  It is distributed as source, and compiles with \acro{GNU}
+Pascal, thereby coming as close as you're likely to get to Knuth's original
+distribution.  It is known to work well, but the omission of \etex{}
+and \pdftex{} will rule it out of many users' choices.

+\Question[Q-syswin32]{(Modern) Windows systems}
+
+Windows users nowadays have a real choice, between two excellent
+distributions, \miktex{} and \texlive{}.  \texlive{} on windows has
+only in recent years been a real challenger to the long-established
+\miktex{}, and even now \miktex{} has features that \texlive{} lacks.
+Both are comprehensive
+distributions, offering all the established \tex{} variants (\tex{},
+\pdftex{}~--- both with \etex{} variants~--- as well as \xetex{} and
+\luatex{}), together with a wide range of support tools.
+  
+Both \miktex{} and \texlive{} offer management tools, including the
+means of keeping an installation ``up-to-date'', by reinstalling
+packages that have been updated on \acro{CTAN} (the delay between a
+package update appearing, and it being available to the distribution
+users) can be as short as a day (and is never very long).
+
+\miktex{}, by Christian Schenk, is the longer-established of the pair,
+and has a large audience of satisfied users; \texlive{} is the
+dominant distribution in use in the world of Unix-like systems, and so
+its Windows version may be expected to appeal to those who use both
+Unix-like and Windows systems.  The latest release of \miktex{}~---
+version 2.9~--- requires Windows~XP, or later (so it does not work on
+Windows~2000 or earlier).
+
+Both distributions may be used in a configuration which involves no
+installation at all.  \miktex{}'s ``portable'' distribution may be
+unpacked on a memory stick, and used on any windows computer without
+making any direct use of the hard drive.  The web page % ! line break
+\href{http://www.tug.org/texlive/portable.html}{\texlive{} portable usage}
+describes the options for installing \texlive{} on a memory stick, or
+for using the \texlive{} \acro{DVD} with no installation at all.
+  
+Both \miktex{} and \texlive{} may be downloaded and installed, package
+by package, over the net.  This is a mammoth undertaking, only to be
+undertaken by those with a good network connection (and a patient
+disposition!).
+
+A ready-to-run copy of the \miktex{} distribution,
+on \acro{DVD} may be bought via the % ! line break
+\href{http://www.miktex.org/cd/}{\miktex{} web site}.  \miktex{} may
+also be installed using Pro\TeX{}t, on the % ! line break
+\Qref*{\TeX{} Collection \acro{DVD}}{Q-CD}.
+
+The \Qref*{\TeX{} Collection \acro{DVD}}{Q-CD} also provides an
+offline installer for \texlive{}.
+
+%  can't find any evidence this is still available
+%
+%% \href{http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/xemtex/}{XEm\TeX{}}, by
+%% Fabrice Popineau (he who created the excellent, but now defunct,
+%% fp\TeX{} distribution), is another integrated distribution of \tex{},
+%% \latex{}, \CONTeXT{}, \ProgName{XEmacs} and other friends for Windows.
+%% All programs have been compiled natively to take the best advantage of
+%% the Windows environment.  Configuration is provided so that the
+%% resulting set of programs runs out-of-the-box, but the distribution is
+%% not actively promoted.
+%
+% this isn't right, but i'm not sure how to deal with it...
+%
+%%   The (Japanese) \acro{W}32\acro{TEX} distribution was motivated by
+%%   the needs of Japanese users (Japanese won't fit in a ``simple''
+%%   character set like \acro{ASCII}, but \TeX{} is based on a version of
+%%   \acro{ASCII}).  Despite its origins, \acro{W}32\acro{TEX} is said to
+%%   be a good bet for Western users, notably those whose disks are short
+%%   of space: the minimum documented download is as small as
+%%   95\,MBytes.  Investigate the distribution at
+%%   \URL{http://www.fsci.fuk.kindai.ac.jp/kakuto/win32-ptex/web2c75-e.html}
+%
+% the url is now http://w32tex.org/current/
+  
+A further (free) option is available thanks to the
+\href{http://www.cygwin.com}{CygWin bundle}, which presents a
+Unix-like environment in Windows systems (and also provides an
+X-windows server).  The (now obsolete) te\TeX{} distribution is
+provided as part of the CygWin distribution, but there is a CygWin
+build of \texlive{} so you can have a current \tex{} system.  \TeX{}
+under CygWin is reputedly somewhat slower than native Win32
+implementations such as \miktex{}, and of course the \tex{}
+applications behave like Unix-system applications.
+
+BaKoMa \TeX{}, by Basil Malyshev, is a comprehensive (shareware)
+distribution, which focuses on support of Acrobat.  The distribution
+comes with a bunch of Type~1 fonts packaged to work with BaKoMa
+\TeX{}, which further the focus.

+\Question[Q-sysmac]{Macintosh systems}
+
+The \Qref*{\TeX{} collection}{Q-CD} \acro{DVD} includes Mac\TeX{},
+which is a Mac-tailored version of \texlive{}; details may be found on
+the \href{http://tug.org/mactex}{\acro{TUG} web site}.  If you don't
+have the disc, you can download the distribution from \acro{CTAN} (but
+note that it's pretty big).  Mac\TeX{} is an instance of \texlive{},
+and has a Mac-tailored graphical \texlive{} manager, so that you can
+keep your distribution up-to-date.
+
+Note that installing Mac\TeX{} requires \texttt{root} privilege.  This
+is a pity, since it offers several extras that aren't available via a
+standard \texlive{}, which aren't therefore available to ``ordinary
+folk'' at work.  For those who don't have \texttt{root} privilege, the
+option is to install using the \texlive{} \texttt{tlinstall} utility.
+
+\href{http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/}{Oz\TeX{}}, by Andrew Trevorrow,
+is a shareware version of \TeX{} for the Macintosh.  A \acro{DVI}
+previewer and \PS{} driver are also included.
+Oz\TeX{} is a Carbon app, so will run under \macosx{} (see
+\url{http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/ozosx.html} for details), but it
+is \emph{not} a current version: it doesn't even offer \pdftex{}.  A
+mailing list is provided by \acro{TUG}: sign up via
+\url{http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/oztex}
+
+Another partly shareware program is
+\href{http://www.kiffe.com/cmactex.html}{CMac\TeX{}}, put together by
+Tom Kiffe.  CMac\TeX{} is much closer than Oz\TeX{} to the Unix \TeX{}
+model of things (it uses \ProgName{dvips}, for instance).  CMac\TeX{}
+runs natively under \macosx{}; it includes a port of a version of
+\Qref*{Omega}{Q-omegaleph}.

+
+\Question[Q-sysother]{Other systems' \tex{} availability}
+
+For \acro{PC}s, running \MSDOS{} or \acro{OS/}2, Em\TeX{} (by Eberhard
+Mattes) offers \LaTeX{}, \BibTeX{}, previewers, and drivers.  It is
+available as a series of zip archives, with documentation in both
+German and English.  Appropriate memory managers for using em\TeX{}
+with 386 (and better) processors and under pre-'9x Windows, are
+included in the distribution.  (Em\TeX{} \emph{can} be made to operate
+under Windows, but even back when it was ``current'', such use wasn't
+very actively encouraged.)
+
+A version of em\TeX{}, packaged to use a % ! line break
+\Qref*{TDS directory structure}{Q-tds}, is separately available as an
+em\TeX{} `contribution'.  Note that neither em\TeX{} itself, nor
+em\TeX{}-\acro{TDS}, is maintained.  Users of Microsoft operating
+systems, who want an up-to-date \AllTeX{} system, need Win32-based
+systems.
+
+For \acro{PC}s, running \MSDOS{}, a further option is a port of the
+Web2C~7.0 implementation, using the \acro{GNU} \ProgName{djgpp}
+compiler.  While this package is more recent than em\TeX{}, it
+nevertheless also offers a rather old instance of \AllTeX{}.
+
+For \acro{VAX} systems running Open\acro{VMS}, a \TeX{} distribution
+is available \acro{CTAN}, but is almost certainly not the latest (it
+is more than 10 years old).  Whether a version is even available for
+current \acro{VMS} (which typically runs on Intel 64-bit processors)
+is not clear, but it seems unlikely.
+
+For the Atari \acro{ST} and \acro{TT}, \acro{CS}-\TeX{} is available
+from \acro{CTAN}; it's offered as a set of \acro{ZOO} archives.
+
+Amiga users have the option of a full implementations of \TeX{} 3.1
+(Pas\TeX{}) and \MF{} 2.7.
+
+It's less likely that hobbyists would be running \acro{TOPS}-20
+machines, but since \TeX{} was originally written on a \acro{DEC}-10
+under \acro{WAITS}, the \acro{TOPS}-20 port is another near approach
+to Knuth's original environment. Sources are available by anonymous
+\texttt{ftp} from \url{ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/pub/web}

+\Question[Q-editors]{\TeX{}-friendly editors and shells}
+
+There are good \TeX{}-writing environments and editors for most
+operating systems; some are described below, but this is only a
+personal selection:
+\begin{description}
+\item[Unix] The commonest choices are \ProgName{[X]Emacs} or
+  \ProgName{vim}, though several others are available.
+  
+  \href{http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html}{\acro{GNU}\nobreakspace\ProgName{emacs}}
+  and \href{http://www.xemacs.org/}{\ProgName{XEmacs}} are supported
+  by the \acro{AUC}-\TeX{}
+  bundle (available from \acro{CTAN}).  \acro{AUC}-\TeX{} provides menu
+  items and control sequences for common constructs, checks syntax,
+  lays out markup nicely, lets you call \TeX{} and drivers from
+  within the editor, and everything else like this that you can think
+  of.  Complex, but very powerful.
+
+  \href{http://vim.sourceforge.net}{\ProgName{Vim}} is also highly
+  configurable (also available for Windows and Macintosh systems).
+  Many plugins are available to support the needs of the \AllTeX{} user,
+  including syntax highlighting, calling \TeX{} programs,
+  auto-insertion and -completion of common \AllTeX{} structures, and
+  browsing \LaTeX{} help.  The scripts \File{auctex.vim} and
+  \File{bibtex.vim} seem to be the most common recommendations.
+
+  The editor \href{http://nedit.org/}{\ProgName{NEdit}} is also free
+  and programmable, and is available for Unix systems.  An
+  \acro{AUC}-\TeX{}-alike set of extensions for \ProgName{NEdit} is available
+  from \acro{CTAN}.
+
+  \ProgName{LaTeX4Jed} provides much enhanced \LaTeX{} support for the
+  \href{http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/}{\ProgName{jed}} editor.
+  \ProgName{LaTeX4Jed} is similar to \acro{AUC}-\TeX{}: menus,
+  shortcuts, templates, syntax highlighting, document outline,
+  integrated debugging, symbol completion, full integration with
+  external programs, and more. It was designed with both the beginner
+  and the advanced LaTeX user in mind.
+
+  The \ProgName{Kile} editor that is provided with the \acro{KDE}
+  window manager provides \acro{GUI} ``shell-like'' facilities, in a
+  similar way to the widely-praised \ProgName{Winedt} (see below);
+  details (and downloads) are available from the project's
+  \href{http://kile.sourceforge.net/}{home on SourceForge}.
+
+  \acro{TUG} is sponsoring the development of a cross-platform editor
+  and shell, modelled on the excellent \texshop{} for the Macintosh.
+  The result,
+  \href{http://www.tug.org/texworks/}{\texworks{}}, is recommended: if
+  you're looking for a
+  \AllTeX{} development environment, it may be for you.  (It is
+  distributed with both \texlive{} and \miktex{}.)
+
+  A possible alternative is
+  \href{http://texstudio.sourceforge.net/}{TeXstudio}
+\item[Windows-32]\ProgName{TeXnicCenter} is a (free)
+  \TeX{}-oriented development system, uniting a powerful platform for
+  executing \AllTeX{} and friends with a configurable editor.
+
+  \texworks{} (see above) is also available for Windows systems.
+  
+  \ProgName{Winedt}, a shareware package, is also highly spoken of.
+  It too provides a shell for the use of \TeX{} and related programs,
+  as well as a powerful and well-configured editor.  The editor can
+  generate its output in \acro{UTF}-8 (to some extent), which is
+  useful when working with \Qref*{\xetex{}}{Q-xetex} (and other
+  ``next-generation'' \AllTeX{} applications).
+
+  Both \ProgName{emacs} and \ProgName{vim} are available in versions
+  for Windows systems.
+\item[Macintosh] For \macosx{} users, the free tool of choice appears to be
+  \href{http://pages.uoregon.edu/koch/texshop/index.html}{\texshop{}}, which
+  combines an editor and a shell with a coherent philosophy of dealing
+  with \AllTeX{} in the OS~X environment.  TeXShop is distributed as
+  part of the MacTeX system, and will therefore be available out of
+  the box on machines on which MacTeX has been installed.
+
+  \ProgName{Vim} is also available for use on Macintosh systems.
+
+  The commercial Textures provides an excellent integrated Macintosh
+  environment with its own editor.  More powerful still (as an editor)
+  is the shareware \ProgName{Alpha} which is extensible enough to let
+  you perform almost any \TeX{}-related job. It also works well with
+  Oz\TeX{}.  From release 2.2.0 (at least), Textures works under \macosx{}.
+\item[\acro{OS/}2] \ProgName{epmtex} offers an \acro{OS/}2-specific shell.
+\end{description}
+Atari, Amiga and \acro{N}e\acro{XT} users also have nice
+environments. \LaTeX{} users looking for \ProgName{make}-like
+facilities should review the answer on
+\Qref*{Makefiles for \LaTeX{} documents}{Q-make}.
+
+While many \AllTeX{}-oriented editors can support work on \BibTeX{}
+files, there are many systems that provide specific ``database-like''
+access to your \BibTeX{} files~---
+\begin{hyperversion}
+  see ``\Qref{creating a bibliography file}{Q-buildbib}''.
+\end{hyperversion}
+\begin{flatversion}
+  these are discussed in % ! line break
+  ``\Qref*{creating a bibliography file}{Q-buildbib}''.

+\Question[Q-commercial]{Commercial \TeX{} implementations}
+\keywords{windows,macintosh,commercial}
+
+There are many commercial implementations of \TeX{}. The first
+appeared not long after \TeX{} itself appeared.
+
+What follows is probably an incomplete list.  Naturally, no warranty or
+fitness for purpose is implied by the inclusion of any vendor in this
+list.  The source of the information is given to provide some clues to
+its currency.
+
+In general, a commercial implementation will come `complete', that is,
+with suitable previewers and printer drivers.  They normally also have
+extensive documentation (\emph{i.e}., not just the \TeX{}book!) and some
+sort of support service.  In some cases this is a toll free number
+(probably applicable only within the \acro{USA} and or Canada), but others
+also have email, and normal telephone and fax support.
